Last Breath - KnowMads

My last day on Earth

Perhaps I’ll write a verse

Asking for forgiveness

Feels different in a Church

What defines my worth?

My money or my name?

My last play challenged God to a chess game

I can take eternity for every move I make

Patience decides who gonna make the first mistake

Everyday I’ve grown, I told myself the stakes is high

Student in my vision, pupil to my naked eye

The world is a cold, lost place to make you try

But if you don’t try, you might as well wait to die

I’ve existed since birth, but at times I wasn’t livin

The future looks different when you see it from a distance

Kings look different when you see them without riches

Queens in the Kings' dreams start to seem like bitches

And if this is the last thing you ever hear from me

Your spirit lives through death

You decide who that will be

(Hook)

So

Breathe in through the air, and let your spirit go

Breathe out to the Earth, it is a miracle

Sometimes I wonder why we’re here, and yet here we go

I can feel that I know that is a miracle

(Verse Two)

And in my final hour, the vinyl will be playing

I don’t know where I’ll be, but I know that this is what I’ll save and

Rhyming like Amen

Yo everything I meant

Done seen it out these eyes

I’ll prophesize what’s heaven scent

Even when I die and turn to dirt before I’ve bled

At least I’ve spoke the words I needed to get out my head

Hoping it’s a way of still existing when I’m dead

Silence just reminds us of the things we’ve wished we said

Like why is every human so afraid of being blamed?

Being looked down at, the fear is all the same

Fake motherfuckers tryin keep you in your brain

Cause' they hate they own lives, and gotta vent they own pain

But once you understand we’re all a part of something larger

Then you ain’t scared to be a motherfucking martyr

Cause' man really lives just to make his kids stronger

You live once on Earth

But your spirit lives longer
